How are christians being persecuted?

Update:

Christians make up about 70% of the US, the strongest, richest country in history. They are the biggest part of the far-right, which in January will control 2 of the 3 branches of government. It will be all three when Trump nominates a Supreme Court judge. Yet they claim they are being persecuted. How can that be?

    They are being denied the right to persecute others. How much worse could it be?

    They are not - they are sadly the persecutors because they fail to understand that the problem is not anything to do with atheists, God, Jesus, the bible, or even Christianity and all to do with the intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution posted by BAD Christians towards others!

    ALL the other religions and atheists live in peace and are ONLY attacked by BAD Christians which causes all GOOD Christians to despair at the damage they do!

    The self-destruction of Christianity is underway and the only thing that can stop it is to abandon the terrible human emotions, seek to rediscover the idea of a loving god and act like it!

    BAD Christians not only drive people further away from God but are the reason so many DECENT people are becoming ANTI THEISTS!

    Pew News reports Christianity is shrinking with a corresponding rise in atheism!

    Five times as many Americans in 2014 said they never prayed compared to those asked the same question in the 1980s

    "Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. -Mat 6:1

    Treat a man as he appears to be, and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

    Christianity is not about hating others but about worshiping the LOVING GOD!!!!!!!

    People have beliefs that they don't agree with so their persecution is automatic. Aslong as one thing has a differing opinion then they will be persecuted

    By their own minds. Every time someone disagrees with Christian or says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas they think they're being persecuted.

    A few of them claim they are not allowed by some laws to hate people or kill them just because some cherry picking in their holy book infallible scripture say they should hate and kill people who don't share their views.

    They're not. They think not being able to force other people to follow their beliefs is persecution but last I checked churches still outnumbered Starbucks, McDonalds, and WalMarts COMBINED...

    It is because we are not doing everything as they please. If we are not forcing ourselves to live our lives like them, they are automatically being persecuted.
